hello, I have a IIvx as well.
Let me start off by saying you might want more swap space. generally twice
the amount of real RAM is recommended for the amount of swap, but even i
have broken that "rule"..i have 20MB RAM and 32MB swap.
anyway, back to the problem:
have you tried zapping the PRAM? hold down command-option-P-R on start
up...that might fix it.
Also, you might want to boot in either 8-bit color or 1-bit color. 16-bit
color does not work. (may i suggest using 1-bit color - dt (virtual
console) and X11R6  will not run when the built in video is set to anything
other than 1-bit. unless you have a nubus video card...)
my other suggestion would to boot off booter version 1.9. not 1.9.1, 1.9.4,
or 1.9.5. just plain 1.9. someone gave me this hint awhile ago, and it
solved the booting problem for me...
good luck!
